FC: A View of the West THE ART OF MIKEL DONAHUE

1: Mikel's character and style depicts an honesty that is true to the people and places he portrays. His exposure to art came at an early age by visits to the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, and what was then the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. Living near Tulsa he feels very lucky to be so close to two of the most treasured resources a western artist could have. Influenced by his Grandfather's cowboy way of life, all he ever wanted to do was draw, paint and raise horses.... and today he's doing just that. Mikel and his wife Christie raise running quarter horses on their small place in Broken Arrow. It is their involvement in the horse industry and working ranches that gives Mikel a unique perspective to his art. on the cover: Buckaroo
